Last week, I had a magazine art director ask me if I knew how to shoot film
!!! Seriously. They needed quality and their regular shooters don't have
film cameras any more.
At least 6 times a year I gets calls for 4X5 work.(which I don't do but
subcontract to a friend)
Digital is only doing to photography what photography did to painting.
Returning it to the talented :^)
